I am from Nebraska, where we deserve to be embarrassed by our modern senators, but Maine, come on, she's pathetic.

Kavanaugh & how that perv. was rushed through with no credible F.B.I. investigation. You just know there was corruption there! Americans are tired of corruption! We deserve better & we can do much better!...

to think she was ever thought of as a moderate. She has shown herself to be much like her fellow republicans-spineless.
